University of York campus development
Vision for a 21st-century campus
The planned £750 million expansion at Heslington East and investment projects on the existing campus are the latest phase of the University of York's development of a 21st-century campus.
Since 2000, the University has invested more than £500 million to upgrade and expand its campus facilities including £200 million we have spent on phase one of our Heslington East expansion which is the single largest investment made by any UK University.
A further £60 million is being invested throughout 2011/2012 to deliver a new sports village, a new Langwith College, library refurbishments and chemistry research facilities.

Impact of our investment
The University is a top ranked institution worldwide. We are growing to sustain our international position, to compete effectively, to maintain our high ranking status, to drive the local and regional economy and to meet the national higher education agenda. For students studying at York, our investment means major improvements to existing campus facilities, and the construction of new academic and social buildings, study spaces and college accommodation.
The University plan
Investing in our campus has helped to support the four main themes outlined in our University Plan:
- Excellence
- Internationalisation
- Inclusivity
- Sustainability
Achieving these goals helps to enhance student experience, accelerate inter-disciplinary research, and encourage collaboration with external partners.
